So Congress has finally agreed to compromise after 16 days with a plan for 3 months. Maybe if they stayed out another 16 days they could have come up with a six month plan.God knows a yearlong plan would be impossible.And now they have the balls to pat themselves on the back for ending their political gamesmanship and saving the country from default. And what is worse is that even with ratings in opinion polls running 74% negative for the Repubs and 52% negative for the Dems Americans will most likely return most of the incumbents to once again play more our side is better than your side games. Last Congressional election when the approval rating stood at just over 50% voters returned 90% of incumbents to office.How can we blame Congress when the voters repeatedly reelect the same losers. There is an old saying that states people get the government that they deserve. Sadly I think that is a reality for us now

Congress makes our laws not the Taliban. If you are referring to those who oppose the Democratic viewpoint may I remind you that stalwart Republicans and Conservatives classify the Democrats as the enemy also so obstructionism just depends on which side of the fence you are peering over. You should really open your mind to other points of view once in a while. It would be a refreshing change. And while you’re at it providing nicknames for those who attempt to shut down government try thinking up a good one(no spin control allowed) for the Democrats. Here is the unpleasant(for you) truth: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/09/25/here-is-every-previous-government-shutdown-why-they-happened-and-how-they-ended/
